FANTASTIC. Congrats. There is no better feeling than pulling something like that off. After I swapped my motor in (after blowing my previous one). I almost could not believe it started. My wife was not super happy with me when I made her come out to the cold garage in February to record it.,,,

Great news! This is proof that PBL is a useful theory.

Having been a railroad electrician in the past I can confirm that it is usually the easy simple thing not the super weird technical thing!

Damn it! Came into the shop and see an 4-5 inch puddle under the car. Brand new LN drain plug's leaking. Yes I cleaned the surface...

Update and...Correction, I put the old plug and washer in and not the LN

Easy fix considering what you have just done!

Other than the oil drip, how's she running?

Runs like a champ!
I'm an idiot though. My 13 hour push to get the car done I now remember putting the old plug in to keep the drops off of my chest while I checked fitment. The next morning before putting oil in I torqued the plug to make sure and forgot that I didn't put the new LN in.

Glad to see you've got this ironed out Bill! Fingers crossed for smooth sailing from here on out.

Thanks! Got the LN drain plug in today and straitened up my cocked exhaust tips (what a pain) and she purrs like a kitten then roars like a lion when I get on it! I'm so fricken stoked right now
